Dirk also helplessly watch dwade take over in the finals after being up 2, he finished the job that year with a better heat team in the finals. I'm not saying its by a wide margin but that 2011 year was so crazy to watch and the 2006 was so disappointing

God forbid we overlook the fact that he has the perfect skillset for a 6th man and his versatility provides him to play both guard spots off the bench if need be. But thug inefficient chucker LOL

But he doesn't have the perfect skillset for a sixth man because he can't shoot. And shut up Kyle, that team was stacked with above average to great rebounders and defenders, that is how they got to the Finals.

I don't want to hijack this thread or anything, but just to be totally clear here, you don't think Allen Iverson was the best player on that team?

Summary
One of the better all around players in NBA history, Hondo could pass, rebound, and score, all while being one of the best perimeter defenders that the nba has ever seen. That all around brilliance was on full display in the 74 playoffs as he guided the Celtics to their first post-Russell championship by going through McAdoo's Braves (26ppg), the defending champion New Yew Knicks (30ppg), and the Kareem/Oscar Bucks in the finals. He claimed the finals MVP for his efforts. He slides in to my starting five as a defensive stopper that can use his versatile talents to hold everything together with contributions in every area.

This is very clearly Ewing's best career as he enjoyed elite success in the regular season as well as performing at an elite level in the playoffs as well (29/11, 52% shooting). He was an anchor on defense and extremely skilled on offense which makes him a great rotational guy to have whenever we need to go with a huge lineup (Hakeem, Ewing, Lebron), or to spell Hakeem with a guy that could dominate the post on defense as well.
